Stories from My Students

  • Vinnie Ong

    BLACKSTONE & MORGAN STANLEY

    “I took Sherjan's Investment Banking course when I was at Stanford and it helped me not only become better at networking with the top banks, but showed me exactly what I needed to do during interviews. His unique concepts were the difference in me getting my break into Investment Banking. Thank you Sherjan for your help and support throughout the years.”

  • Alissa Hew

    GOLDMAN SACHS

    "I attended Sherjan’s course when I was a student at the London School of Economics. His course helped me secure numerous interviews, and eventually, multiple offers across investment banks. Sherjan’s candid advice and access to professionals across different industries gave me confidence that I was selecting the right career path for myself.”

  • Angad Singh

    J.P. Morgan

    "I met Sherjan during his Investment Banking workshop at U.C. Berkeley. Immediately he captured the attention of the entire auditorium - we all knew this wasn’t a regular run-of-the-mill workshop. Beyond just technicals, Sherjan covered the intricacies of the interview process and how to build genuine rapport with the person across the table. I landed several offers at global Investment Banks with Sherjan’s help and continue to gain from his mentorship till this day."

    HOULIHAN LOKEY

    "Sherjan has been an amazing mentor and friend since the first day I met him at U.C. Berkeley. Being a transfer student, it was always challenging to get an edge compared to other students who were also trying to break into the industry. Sherjan's course and his continued mentorship helped me gain that confidence and excel at Investment Banking interviews. Even now, after I've left the industry, he is my go-to person for career advice."

  • Rob Keith

    MORGAN STANLEY

    “Sherjan is a legend. I met him when I was at Houlihan Lokey and he helped me get my dream gig at Morgan Stanley’s Technology Investment Banking team. He trained me for my interviews, everything from technical to behavioral, and guided me throughout the recruiting process. Most students focus on learning how to build models and financial statements, but getting the job requires a different set of skills, that’s where Sherjan’s teaching were priceless.”

  • Asad Malik

    GOLDMAN SACHS

    “Sherjan you’ve been an incredible mentor and a friend. I’m really grateful for your candid advice, industry-veteran perspectives, and invaluable support over the years. Honestly mean it. Your workshop taught me the art of recruiting, how to answer specific questions, and how I could differentiate myself from the competition. Can’t thank you enough for the wisdom, especially during the toughest career decisions.”

  • Marko Damnjanovic

    MORGAN STANLEY

    “Sherjan, you piqued my interest in finance when I was an engineering freshman studying how to build bridges - then I enrolled in your Investment Banking workshop in Toronto and you guided me towards Investment Banking and helped me land a job at Morgan Stanley. That has changed the trajectory of my career. You’ve been a reliable source of career (and life) advice throughout the journey! Thank you!”

  • David Phan

    HOULIHAN LOKEY

    "I did what every undergrad does when they are trying to break into Investment Banking: cram technicals and memorize generic answers. Sherjan's course changed the way I not only answered questions but how I thought about Investment Banking interviews. So much of it is learning the style and art of delivery, smiling, the little things on how to strategize time, that's what makes the difference in being on the sidelines or getting an offer. Thanks for being a true mentor."

    JEFFERIES

    "Sherjan is truly inspiring. His energy and tenacity will teach you to go above and beyond your limit and help you land offers in Investment Banking."

  • William Xiao

    GOLDMAN SACHS

    "Sherjan’s course and guidance was invaluable when I recruited for investment banking. Although I received several interviews, my main issue was closing them and converting them into offers. Sherjan’s interview strategies are unique and taught me things that were my blindspots – small, simple things that aren’t obvious at first, but can really help convince bankers to hire you. This course helped with identifying those issues, taught me practical examples on how to solve them, and got me my first offer."

  • Darion Lee

    DEUTSCHE BANK

    "I was pretty good at accounting and finance in school so I knew Investment Banking was a good fit for me. Issue was that my interviewing skills weren't up to par. I took Sherjan's course at UCLA and learned a ton within a few hours. It is hard to describe exactly what it is, but it has to do with perseverance, style, and your answering technique that gives you the edge in recruiting. I became a lot more natural during interviews and was able to get into technology Investment Banking as an analyst."
